I was impressed with so much art in Cuba. One of the few things Americans are allowed to take home right now is art -- and educational material.

It's been an exceptionally busy time for me and this whirlwind I am on has another ten days or so before I "think" I can land!
The Art and Food Festival last night was a FABULOUS event!!! The delicious food was served by 15 different area restaurants and caterers, delightful music was provided, and a dazzling display of artwork was shown for show and for sale. While I didn't win any ribbons, I was humbled and delighted to enjoy a bevy of compliments about my artwork, answer questions about my upcoming art classes, and I even made a sale! And more - I've been invited to exhibit at several new venues! A really wonderful day I'm ever grateful for.
But oh how this incredible busyness has left me mighty tired. And so, especially at times like these, I turn to things that comfort and restore me --- and one such 'place' is the marsh. My dear friend, Fran, has graciously allowed me to paint HER marsh www.flickr.com/photos/fahansen/7088062397/in/photostream and I thank her for her permission as well as the sense of quiet and peace her image inspired! Thank you on all counts, Fran!! Please stop by her flickr stream for YOUR dose of JOY!
I hope to catch up with family and friends for the remainder of this weekend - and thank each of you for your continued support and encouragement!
Have a great Saturday!

This time I didn't make the main work. Yes, I took the photo, but my talented friend Kathrin draw this beautiful colour cloud.
So this is: In cooparation with Kathrin.
To my mind, photography is art! I want to say this, because it seems to me, that people think of pencils and colours and drawing and sculptures, when they hear the word 'art'. But isn't it also a kind of art, to create a new world by using a camera? It's true, you can not call every snapshort art and I also don't want to call my photography art, but in my opinion a photo become art, when the person, who creates it think about, how to realise a special theme, feeling, ... .
Hmm, when I think about it, also a snapshot can become art, if the photographer recognize something really special about it and present it in a good way.
Ok, enough philosophy for today. :)
